KALAMAZOO TOWNSHIP — A Kalamazoo Township man was arrested this morning after he fired a gunshot into his mattress, police said.

The 42-year-old man, whose name has not been released, fired at least one round that struck a mattress and box spring inside his residence at Big Bend Apartments, 2220 Gull Road, said Lt. Bryan Ergang of the Kalamazoo Township Police Department. He said police were continuing to investigate what led to the incident.

Township police and other local agencies responded to the apartment complex at about midnight after receiving a report from the man’s wife that he had fired a gun in their residence. The wife and two children were home at the time but were not in the bedroom where the gun was fired and were not injured, the lieutenant said.

At the scene, police were establishing a perimeter and evacuating tenants when the man walked out of his residence and surrendered without incident, according to a news release. The man was taken to the Kalamazoo County Jail where he was lodged on a charge of unlawfully discharging a firearm inside a dwelling.

Police seized the gun and several other firearms found in the residence, Ergang said.

Police planned to submit their investigation today for review by the Kalamazoo County Prosecutor’s Office.
